Chapter 3: Reinforced Concrete Slabs and Beams, Part 2
Description:
This application determines the sizes of rectangular beams to satisfy the flexural requirements, shear requirements and minimum thickness limits of ACI 318-89 using the strength design method of ACI 318-89.The required input includes the strength of the concrete and the reinforcement, the maximum values for factored load bending moments and shears, and the span lengths and types of span for the spans which will determine minimum depths. Three beam sizes are shown for illustrative purposes, however any practical number of spans may be entered at one time.
